Post your favourite protest songs here. What music got your generation thinking and acting, politically?

The song 'Maria' by Rage Against The Machine is one of my all-time favourites, a song about human trafficking and sweatshop labour:

I might be wrong, but I think this might be one.

Grace Petrie is one of my favourites, her whole album is good actually (not just protest songs).




Only recently started getting into Billy Bragg's stuff, seeing him at Wembley next month which should be exciting.




And this from Frank Turner. He's distanced himself from this song since he became better known but I love it all the same. Even my Tory friends sing along to it Seeing him at Wembley next month too.

Songs?

I prefer to refer to bands, having grown up to punk.

The Clash
Rise Against
Anti-Flag
Bad Religion

To name a few of the more well known ones...
